Neither John Wetton or John Payne was lead singer on this Asia's biggest concert ever. This MTV special feature drummer's Carl Palmer ELP partner Greg Lake on vocals. When band members and singer Wetton could not get along right after the recording of the second cd Alpha, Wetton left, leaving the group hanging, so in stepped Greg. Greg does a good job and comes across very much like Wetton. But this would be of the only instance I know of the Greg stepping in. Can't say much of the song list, since it is only two cds in, so there really isn't a lot to choose from. Another bad thing about this release 11 songs, 2 of which are solos.
